Tyme You're going to need an oxygen mask to make it through this record. Absolutely suffocating!! Recommend headphones to pick up all the nuance. There's a lot going on in there. Good stuff.

Choco Latte Looking for something earthquake heavy? Then Grave Upheavel is for you. You'll have to give it a couple of listens in order to hear everything as they intentionally try to obscure their work. Favorite track: VI.

Samie Bufalino Death metal. Grim af.
If you're already feeling like a worthless piece of shit, probably try this again later.

about

ANTI-GOTH 242

Grave Upheaval’s debut LP is far more than a mere extrapolation of the work featured on the band’s exceptional 2010 demo and its two subsequent split EPs. Listening to this LP cannot be a passive experience; Grave Upheaval constructs an environment within which the listener is subsumed. The tracks on this album are ominous and oppressive. Inverted tempos and deliberately washed out production contribute to the creation of what may arguably be the most atmospheric Death Metal album to date. Stylistically, Grave Upheaval belongs to the camp of Australian bands that includes Portal, Impetuous Ritual, and their progeny. While those bands tend to exhibit a certain technical virtuosity that occasionally renders the music uncomfortably abstruse to more orthodox listeners, Grave Upheaval revel less in technicality and more in the cavernous darkness of impenetrable walls of repetitious and discordant guitars. The accentuation of ambience rather than technique is Grave Upheaval’s greatest strength and makes the music immediately arresting to the listener without the need to engage in repeat listens before it even begins to set in. The songwriting and performance on the album is primal and severe, while the exquisitely disorienting haze in which the songs are drenched produces a hallucinatory effect. Forms emerge and retreat into the sonic miasma producing a textural richness rarely achieved in Death Metal. As with the band’s prior releases, the presentation and conceptual underpinnings of the band’s work are obscure – alluring, but always remaining just out of the reach of cognition. The album and the tracks on it are nameless and the photographic artwork adorning the release is evocative and abstract. The standard version of the release contains three LP sides of music and is encased in a gatefold jacket featuring an 8-page 12” x 12” booklet adhered to the right gatefold panel. The Die Hard edition features a fourth side containing an additional track as well as a wooden slipcover branded with the Grave Upheaval sigil, 36″ x 50″ tapestry, and sticker.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Really late to the Abyssal party. Great to be here now. Maybe partially it's because it was the first one I heard, but I think after listening to all their albums this might be my favorite by them. aelia

Researched Icelandic bands before being able to visit the country in 2019 and found primarily Misþyrming!!!! They reignited and intensified an existing ( and somewhat on the back burner at the time ) love of heavy music. Even listened on the flight there! I have gotten into a lot of great bands because of them. hellaganj2000
